Heart failure in 2011: Heart failure therapy--technology to the fore

John J V McMurray. Nat Rev Cardiol. .

Abstract

Studies published in 2011 in the field of heart failure have reinforced the benefit of cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with mild symptoms and confirmed the value of left ventricular assist devices and CABG surgery in selected patients. Conversely, the efficacy of nesiritide in acute heart failure has been questioned.
